| High-End Collector Packaging for 2007 | |
The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Star Wars fans recently got to preview some of the new 2007 toy packaging devised by Lucasfilm and Boston-based packaging design firm PILOT to celebrate Star Wars' 30th anniversary across several of its merchandising brands. A handful of licensed items, however, will be receiving a completely different look -- one that is more formal, refined, and classic. According to Lucas Licensing's Director of Global Product Development Darren Phillipson, select licensees that develop high-end collector product like Attakus, Gentle Giant, Master Replicas and Sideshow will be adopting a new classic-yet-contemporary look for 2007, one that imparts a "museum-quality" feel. Be sure to go and read the full article and see the new packaging. | |

| Featured Artist Craig Burt-Painting by Numbers 8 | |
Featured Artist Craig Burt has sent in another breakdown of one of his paintings that provides us with a look into how the picture came about. Here is some of the article created by Craig: This painting was one of the more fun to do because it was mostly based in nostalgia. Even though it wasn't executed as well as it could have been - should have put more work into the 'token bad guy' - it is still a likeable painting to me. Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Token Toll" in the Painting by Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this image came about! Enjoy! | |

| December 2006 Comics | |
 The Official Star Wars Site has provided a look at more Dark Horse
Comics for Star Wars fans this December. Lightsaber crashes against lightsaber
in a battle between Jedi and Sith that marks a crucial turning point in the
(future) fate of the Star Wars galaxy! The life of a central figure hangs in the
balance, triggering Cade Skywalker to make a shocking choice that will challenge
everything he's fought so hard to protect, and start him down a path from which
he can never return. The stakes are higher than ever before in the Star Wars
universe, set a century after the familiar events of the classic Star Wars
trilogy. Star Wars Legacy #7, featuring the works of John Ostrander, Jan
Duursema, Dan Parsons, Brad Anderson and cover art by Adam Hughes, is scheduled
for release on December 13.Jetting back a few millennia, the creative team of John Jackson Miller, Brian Ching and Michael Atiyeh continue to tell the tale of Padawan Zayne Carrick. Take fugitive Carrick, throw in a big-mouthed con artist, two mysterious refugees, and one grumpy droid and you've got the most unpredictable, fast-paced, take on the Star Wars universe since a scoundrel named Solo helped Luke Skywalker blow up the Death Star! For this misfit crew of unlikely heroes, life in the Old Republic is anything by idyllic. Scheming to scrounge up some scratch on the banking world of Telerath, they've run afoul of two bounty-hunting brothers as dangerous to the galaxy as they are to each other. It's going to take more than a lightsaber to get Zayne and his friends out of this one -- such as deceits, disguises, and a bit of the good ol' fashioned Force! Find out more in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #12, due out on December 27. These are dark times indeed, when even the noblest of undertakings must rely on stealth, deception, and possibly the betrayal and abandonment of friends and loved ones. Events have led Jedi Dass Jennir and his companion Bomo Greenbark to the planet Orvax, slave marketplace to the galaxy. There they face not only danger from the slavers and the Empire, but they must confront the awful truth that their goal may be beyond their reach. Meanwhile, Darth Vader must deal with some unpleasant realities -- and memories -- of his own. Though he is a Dark Lord of the Sith, even he must bow before the power of the Emperor. Read more in Star Wars: Dark Times #3, the third part of the five-part The Path to Nowhere, by Welles Hartley, Mick Harrison, Douglas Wheatley, and Ronda Pattison, due out on December 27. What better Valentines' gift can you think of than the first collected volume of Star Wars: Rebellion. In this trade paperback volume, Imperial officer Janek "Tank" Sunber makes a critical choice between his duty to the Empire and his loyalty to childhood friend Luke Skywalker in an explosive tale of Rebel spies, Imperial ambushes, and the dreaded Darth Vader! Having rescued Rebel strategist Jorin Sol from the Empire, Luke Skywalker now leads X-Wing attack runs on Imperial convoys to rustle up much needed supplies for the Rebel fleet. Little does he know that within Sol lies a secret that will put the entire Alliance in danger. What's worse, when Luke receives a coded message from Lt. Sunber, he must decide whether to trust his old friend or obey the orders of Princess Leia who believes Tank may be part of an Imperial plot to capture the Rebellion's greatest hero! It's all in Star Wars: Rebellion Volume 1 -- My Brother, My Enemy, by Rob Williams, Brandon Badeux and Michael Lacombe, and it's due out on February 14. | |
